Getting a new purple clay pot is a very important step to open the pot. You can put the new pot in a clean pot, add water over the body, and put some tea leaves in it to boil together. You can choose black tea with vermilion pot, and green tea is suitable for purple mud and duan mud pot, and it is better to use the new tea of the year. After boiling on low heat, turn off the heat, use the residual heat to simmer for a while and repeat several times, which can remove the earthy smell of the new pot and give the pot an initial nourishment. Dry it when you're done and you're ready to use it normally.
In daily use, keeping the purple clay pot clean is key. Immediately after brewing tea, clean off the tea residue and rinse the inside and outside of the pot with clean water. After that, open the lid and dry the body in a ventilated and dry place. Doing so will prevent odors or mold from forming inside the pot.
Then there is the process of raising pots, which is divided into two ways: external and internal. External cultivation is to pour the first tea soup on the body of the pot every time the tea is made, especially those parts that are not easy to touch the tea soup, you can gently wipe it with a pot pen to let the tea evenly cover the entire pot surface. This method works quickly, but be aware that light-colored pots may have uneven toning.
Internal cultivation is a more natural method, which is to let the tea slowly penetrate into the inside of the pot during normal use, and change the essence of the pot by absorbing the tea juice many times. Although this method is a little slower, it can make the pot show a jade-like luster, which is more warm and natural.
In addition, remember not to let the purple clay pot get stained with oil, once it is stained, it must be cleaned immediately, otherwise it will affect the absorption effect of the pot on the tea juice. There is also the need to let the pot have a proper "rest" time, not continuous high-intensity use, which can make the pot better recovery and absorption.
As a final reminder, don't leave the tea grounds inside the pot for a long time, as this will not only spoil the tea but may also damage the walls of the pot. If you find that there is already a mountain of tea or peculiar smell in the pot, you can clean it up in the right way, such as rinsing it repeatedly with hot water or re-treating it according to the steps of opening the pot.
As long as you stick to these methods, your purple clay pot will definitely become more and more beautiful and exude a unique charm. This makes me think that raising a pot is actually a process of self-cultivation! This is also the kind of harmonious beauty pursued by Chinese people in traditional Chinese culture.
